sunscreens

So I must say sunscreen is insanely important to keeping healthy skin healthy.


This I must say is my favorite sunscreen for athletics. It goes on quick and doesn't require much effort to use. I think it's a great buy. The main thing I don't like about it is that a lot of it is wasted in the air just because the wind blows it away as you're using it, but that's what you get from using a spray sunscreen.












I will tell you right now that I absolutely love this stuff. I love how the bottle is bright yellow so it's easy to find in my giant pile of lotions and sunscreens and other many creams. I absolutely love how creamy and smooth it goes on and how unlike most sunscreens it doesn't make your skin feel oily and sticky. It's quite creamy and light and I love how whenever I use this product I almost never burn. It has this thing called SolarSmart in it, I'm still not quite sure what it is or how it works but this sunscreen is a definite plus.

(LOVE that picture of it)
















This is an absolutely great sunscreen. I love the scent of all Banana Boat sunscreen, but then again that's just me. I like how this is creamy and is oil-free, just like my Clinique sunscreen. It's very good for swimming, I used every single day during my swim season and I plan to use again throughout the summer. Absolutely love.








As you might notice all the sunscreen I've shown has been SPF 30 and there is a really good reason for that. I know I'm Asian and it's weird for Asians to burn, but since I'm half white, my skin burns so easily on my face. I always have to use sunscreen on my face if I'm going to be outside for a long time or else I burn. LOL.

moisturizers

Because I currently cannot find my camera (I'm SOOO lost without it), I shall do a few reviews of things I can find pictures of on the web.

This is my absolutely FAVORITE moisturizers ever. I use it every single day. It is Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. The difference between the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is that the gel is oil free and the lotion may cause your skin to become a little oily. It's not that I don't like the lotion, I love it too, but because I have quite oily skin I prefer to use the gel. And the gel doesn't dry out your skin, it leaves it moisturized and non oily. Also an upside is that it is hypoallergenic like all Clinique products and has very little scent.
I love this stuff. It works as a great base for makeup and it is smooth and soft. It is Clinque's Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer. It comes in SPF 20 which is great so that you don't have to put on a lotion and a sunscreen. What I really like about this is that it is really light and fluffy. And because it is Clinique it is also allergy free, works with all skin tones and it is 100% fragrance free (added fragrances). I will warn you it has a very slight scent of sunscreen because of the SPF in it, but it is nothing that is to bothersome, and the scent disappears after applying.


This is my favorite body moisturizer. Sadly to say, I believe Clinique has discontinued it because I can no longer find it on the sight or at any booth. I'm glad I still have some but I must say I love this stuff. It's very light and fluffy. I'm hoping to find something new that is just as awesome to replace it.

um...

WELL, I think this might be a bit easier if I could find my camera. LOL

Hey

I've decided to help out all those girls out there by giving them some down to honest advice about makeup, including what's affordable and looks great. So just keep looking and I promise you that there will be more.
